BBC’s hilarious subtitles of Kanye West’s Glastonbury set go viral

Screenshots of the subtitles used by the BBC during their broadcast of Kanye West‘s headline Glastonbury Festival set on Saturday (June 27) have gone viral online.

The Chicago rapper performed a nearly two hour set at Pilton, teaming up with Bon Iver‘s Justin Vernon and playing tracks from throughout his career as well as a short cover of Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. He also took the time to pay tribute to wife Kim Kardashian during a rendition of the track ‘Lost In The World’.

Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis revealed earlier today that he missed Kanye West’s headlining set, instead spending the evening onstage with The Moody Blues. The veteran rock band played the Acoustic Stage last night and invited Eavis to perform alongside them.

Asked by NME what he thought about West’s set, the festival founder responded: “I was going to ask you. I wasn’t there, I was at the Moody Blues. I was onstage for the last song. Do you know ‘Question’?. Fantastic song. What a privilege eh?”

On Kanye’s performance, Eavis admitted he is “not a fan of that kind of music” but asserted that it had gone down “reasonably well” with festival goers. When told of NME’s positive review of the set, he beamed, “That’s really great news”.
